SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® REPORTER JIM GRAY CALLS INDUCTION INTO INTERNATIONAL BOXING HALL OF FAME AN ‘UNLIKELY AND TREMENDOUS HONOR’

Veteran Reporter Joins Former Play-By-Play Announcer Steve Albert As Sixth From SHOWTIME Sports® Od 2012 To Be Presented With Boxing’s Highest Honor

NEW YORK (Lipanj 11, 2018) – SHOWTIME Sports® veteran reporter Jim Gray was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame on Sunday in Canastota, NY, joining former colleague and longtime SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING play-by-play announcer Steve Albert in receiving boxing’s most prestigious honor.

 

 

 

Gray and Albert became the fifth and sixth SHOWTIME Sports talent enshrined in the Hall of Fame since 2012. They join boxing analyst Al Bernstein (2012), ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. (2013), analyst and historian Steve Farhood (2017) and play-by-play announcer Barry Tompkins (2017).

 

 

 

In front of a large crowd that included close friends Mike Tyson, Don King, Deontay Wilder, Julius Irving, Jerry Richardson, Stedman Graham, Bob Costas and many others, the 59-year-old Southern California resident Gray reflected on 40-plus years of covering the sport of boxing. “My journey today has been an unlikely one,” Gray said during his induction speech. “The Boxing Hall of Fame immortalized all of these great fighters. So this magnificent honor comes with tremendous humility. How could this happen? I never took a punch.”

 

 

 

Siva, who started with SHOWTIME in 1994, was honored with a Special Individual Achievement Emmy Award – he currently has 12 Emmy’s in total – in 1997 for his interview of Mike Tyson following the heavyweight’s second loss to Evander Holyfield, the infamous “bite fight.” The National Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association also named that interview the “Sports Broadcast Story of the Year.” Dodatno, the American Sportscasters Association has voted Gray “Sportscaster of the Year” u 1998 and ‘99.

 

 

 

Gray chose Tyson to introduce him on Sunday during the induction ceremony. “It’s ironic,” said Gray. “The man who threatened to kill me in public is now inducting me into the Hall of Fame.”

 

 

 

“This award is way, way overdue,” an emotional Tyson said of his good friend. “I’m very proud of you. Well-deserved.”

 

 

 

With this past weekend’s induction ceremony, SHOWTIME Sports now boasts five current Hall of Famers featured on the network: Siva, Bernstein, Farhood, Tompkins and Lennon Jr.

 

 

 

“I am so pleased for Jim and Steve that they received this great honor,” said David Dinkins Jr., Senior Vice President and Executive Producer of SHOWTIME Sports. “Jim Gray’s interviews and reporting have been an integral part of our SHOWTIME telecast from the beginning. Because of his skills and instincts we have been able to cover the events in depth. There have been countless times that Jim’s dogged pursuit of a story has enabled us to paint the complete picture of the event.”

 

 

 

Gray has forged one of the most memorable sports broadcasting careers in recent history, which includes a deep boxing resume. Gray has worked more than 1,200 fights and interviewed over 1,500 fighters throughout his career, uključujući 20 of his fellow Hall of Famers, such as Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman and future Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather Jr. and many others ringside.

 

 

 

Outside of the ring, Gray has covered nearly every sport and landed some of the industry’s most lucrative interviews, including sit-downs with Michael Phelps, Tiger Woods, Tom Brady and Michael Jordan.

 

 

 

Albert spent two decades calling fights for SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. Albert called more than 300 fights during his tenure with SHOWTIME, including Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Greg Haugen in front of 130,000 fans at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, Tyson-Holyfield I & II and the epic Corrales vs. Castillo series.

 

 

 

“Steve Albert’s incredible preparation and perfect timing were the reasons for his memorable fight calls,” Dinkins said. “Steve was the voice of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING through the high profile fights of the Tyson and Chavez eras. He will be forever linked to those shows which helped establish our network as a major broadcaster of boxing.”

 

 

 

Both Gray and Albert earned induction into the Observer category, which recognizes outstanding achievements of print and media journalists, publishers, pisci, historians, photographers and artists.

BROOKLYN (Travanj 12, 2015) – Premier Boks prvaka na Nacionalna komunikaciona mreža returned with two exciting bouts Subota night as Danny “Brz” Garcia (30-0, 17 Kos) poražen Lamont Peterson (33-3-1, 17 Kos) by majority decision and “Irci” Andy Lee (34-2-1, 24 Kos) a Nestajati “Kid Čokolada” Quillin (31-0-1, 22 Kos) fought to a split draw at Barclays Center.

 

The evening’s second main event saw the undefeated Garcia stalk the lightning quick Peterson around the ring while consistently attacking Peterson’s body. Peterson moved well in the first half of the fight, but did not begin engaging offensively until the later rounds.

 

The two exchanged blows throughout a raucous twelfth round that stirred the crowd of 12,300 at Barclays Center into a frenzy. The judges tallies ended at 115-113 for Garcia twice and one score of 114-114.

 

“Osjećam se super. I prepared for a war. He was moving a lot. I thought it was close, not going to lie,” Said Garcia. “It was definitely close the whole way through. I did enough to win and I’m happy with my performance.

 

[On going up in weight] “I feel like I have to go up. It’s affecting my performance, but I feel like I did a great job.”

 

“I did my part. I’m not calling it a robbery but it was a good fight,” Said Peterson. “I don’t expect an easy journey for me to get where I’m going. Osjećam se super. That’s probably the least contact I’ve ever had in a fight.”

 

In the first main event, Quillin scored a huge knockdown in the first round and followed it up by putting Lee on the canvas in round three. Lee made adjustments as the fight went on and began to box Quillin effectively, even putting him down in the seventh round.

 

Lee and Quillin landed almost the same percentage of punches with Lee connecting on 38 percent and Quillin on 39 posto. One judge scored the bout 113-112 for Lee with another scoring the bout 113-112 for Quillin and the final had a score of 113-113.

 

“There’s a reason why judges are judges. They see it their way. I respect the decision,” Said Quillin.

 

[On being knocked down] “There’s a first time for everything. I’m very thankful that I was able to get back up and keep fighting. I took a year off and I was able to go 12-rounds and I could have kept going.”

 

“To je bio tvrd borba. He dropped me early because I was being lazy. I got my momentum late in the fight and I boxed consistently. I understand why with two knockdowns people felt he won the decision. I could have done better večeras. If my next fight is Peter Quillin.”

Here are what the fighters had to say at Thursday’s press conference:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

“I’ve been working on fighting hard, but also smart. I’m going to go in there and dictate the pace and I’m always looking for the knockout. If I can’t knock him out then I’ll be ready to go 12 kola.

 

“It’s always hard making weight, but I’m on weight now. Right now I’m growing into my prime and my body is getting bigger and it’ll be time soon for me to go up in weight.

 

“I’m looking at this as a very big fight. So I’m going in there mentally and physically ready. He’s coming to fight and I’m coming to fight. Subota is going to be about who can make the right adjustments.

 

“I love Brooklyn. This is my fourth fight here and I’ve heard that the tickets for this fight are selling faster than any other fight they’ve held here. So I must be doing something right in Brooklyn. The atmosphere is great at Barclays Center.

 

“I’ve always felt that I’m one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. I’ve won a lot of big fights with a lot of great fighters, and my goal is just continue winning one fight at a time.”

 

LAMONT PETERSON

“Danny’s talk makes no difference to me. I think I’m even more confident than him and I’ll get the victory Subota night and that will be that.

 

“The stakes are high. This can definitely push me to the next level in this boxing game. I’ve been at the top for a while but there’s a difference between being at the top and being an elite fighter. I think this will solidify me as an elite fighter.

 

“I looked at a few of Danny’s fights but nothing really stood out to me. I know Danny is a counterpuncher, that’s what he does. We’ve come up with a game plan to stop that.

 

“I’m a different person than the other guys Danny has fought. I’m a different person with a different style. I trust myself to make adjustments in the ring.

 

“This fight will be different than either of our fights with Matthysse. It’s two different fights and styles make fights. There will be different results. I had to prepare for Danny Garcia and Danny Garcia had to prepare for me.

 

“There’s no pressure fighting on this big card, but I know what it brings. This brings more exposure and I want to use that exposure in the right way. I know I’m looked up to as a role model and I just want to use this exposure.

 

“This will put a big spotlight on boxing and I’m happy to be a part of it.

 

“Spreman sam se boriti, I’ve prepared well and I’m ready to put on a show.”

 

ANDY LEE

 

“I’m eager to fight and ready to go. I’m feeling very dangerous right now.

 

“My ring generalship is one thing, but overall I feel like I have a good idea of what I want to do in the ring. Peter has an idea too, but it’s more moment to moment for him, which can be good as well, when you improvise. I’m more of a guy who will set you up and work to a plan.

 

“Coming back and winning a fight really strengthens your resolve. You know in your mind that at any time, you have a chance of winning. I never plan to be behind but it happens. This time I plan to lead from the front.

 

“Peter is offensive, which leaves openings. He might be cautious for a while because both of us know that we might pay the price of being offensive. Eventually we’ll exchange and it will be explosive one way of the other.

 

“I’m a southpaw puncher who can box and I’ve never been in a dull fight. I have a ‘never say die’ attitude and I’m not someone who is just going to go out there and play it safe. I’ll risk it all to win.

 

“My confidence is very high. I’m the champion of the world and there’s no higher station than that in boxing. I’m the champion and he’ll have to come and take my title.”

 

PETER QUILLIN

 

“Everyone tune in on Travanj 11 because we’re going to do more than just try to take that belt, we’re going to take that belt because that’s what we do.

 

“Andy is the champion of the world but this is the second time I’ve been the challenger to a world champion. I’ve been here before. I know he’s a newly crowned champion so I have nothing bad to say about him.

 

“Andy’s greatest strength is that he lost twice and was able to come back and make himself look very good.

 

“This is a totally different caliber fight than either of us has had. I’m not any of those fighters that he’s faced. I can’t go in there and try to fight like a Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

 

“I’m only concerned about working hard, which I’ve done every day leading up to this fight. So I have no concerns at all.

 

“I’m motivated period. My heart is built on motivation in all things. Talking to media, being on NBC, fighting for the belt and being a positive person. I’m thankful that every day I can put out a positive story about myself.”

LOU DIBELLA, Predsjednik DiBella Entertainment

 

“We have a great night of boxing from beginning to end, you will be hearing a lot more from these young fighters.

 

“If you want to see everything, get there to Barclays Center at 5 poslije podne.

 

“We’re very thrilled that this is going to be televised in primetime on NBC. PBC na NBC. It has a nice ring to it.

 

“The first main event of the evening features Andy Lee, middleweight champion and the fighting pride of Limerick. He is a warrior, he’s at the most confident point of his career and he’s going to need to be because he’s fighting an undefeated champion.

 

“Peter Quillin makes Brooklyn his home. It’s his third fight at Barclays Center and he has a perfect record of 31-0. He’s going to try to take Andy’s belt, ali to neće biti lako.

 

“The bout that will close the show is one of the most eagerly anticipated bouts in all of boxing. Lamont Peterson is noted for being one of the most technically sound boxers in the game and he has an outstanding record to a back it up.

 

“Danny Garcia really embodies what it means to be a Philadelphia fighter. He’s a tough guy with an undefeated record. He’s going to look to keep that record perfect against Lamont Peterson.”

 

JON MILLER, Predsjednik, Programiranje, NBC Sports & NBCSN

 

“On behalf of NBC Sports we’re thrilled to be a part of this and to be in our own backyard. We couldn’t pick a better venue than Barclays Center. The card put together is spectacular. There are great fights once again and we’re excited about the progress that this new property has taken for us.

 

“I think one of the most unique things about ove subote night is that it’s going to make history in television because three of the most venerable and outstanding sports television personalities will be working together for the first time as Al Michaels will be our host, Marv Albert will be doing play-by-play and for the first time ever they will be joined by Bob Costas.

 

“These three iconic figures have worked Olympics and Super Bowls but it’s the first time they’ve ever worked together on one event and that is a tribute to what the entire has put together in delivering this great card.”

 

Brett YORMARK, CEO Barclays Center

 

“Ove subote marks a historic moment for Barclays Center as we host our 11thprofessional boxing event and our first Premier Boxing Champions event.

 

“When you combine the talent in the ring, the production of the show and the iconic broadcasting team of Al Michael, Bob Costas and Marv Albert plus boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard this will be one of the best fight nights that New York has hosted in decades.

 

“Signifying the magnitude of the event, tickets have sold faster than at any other boxing show Barclays Center has hosted.

 

“At Barclays Center, we have not only served as a launch pad for many local boxers’ careers, but have relished in the role of becoming the home for Champions.”

Evo na što su borci morali reći Utorak vježbati:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

“Želim samo pružiti sjajnu borbu navijačima. Želim da vide najboljeg Dannyja Garciju. Na kraju dana, ovo je borba koju navijači žele vidjeti. Moj glavni fokus je priređivanje sjajne predstave za obožavatelje.

 

“U karijeri sam se suočio s puno spretnih boksača i još uvijek sam neporažen. To bi trebalo reći obožavateljima širom svijeta tko ima više vještina. Kao što Travanj 11 kad na licu osjeti ove dvije bombe, zaboravit će na svoju vještinu.

 

“Želim samo pružiti sjajnu borbu navijačima. Nisam previše zabrinut zbog ‘0’ na moju ploču. Borim se snažno da bih je zaštitio, ali moj glavni fokus je ući tamo i obaviti posao jedan po jedan.

 

“Sve što sam radio u karijeri s razlogom je. Sad sam ovdje na NBC-u koji se bori na ovom velikom igralištu. Ovo je izvrsno za boks i dašak svježeg zraka za ovaj sport.

 

“Samo želim istovremeno biti samopouzdana i skromna. Želim da me fanovi vole jer sam svoja. To je vrlo važno za mladog prvaka.

 

“Pokušat ću diktirati tempo, budi pametan, pomakni mi glavu, upotrijebi moja stopala i udari dobre udarce. Ne mogu ga pokušati progoniti.

 

“Nekad sam volio druge sjajne portorikanske boksače poput Felixa Trinidada, Miguel Cotto i Hector Camacho. Osjećam da se definitivno probijam do njih i slijedim njihove korake.

 

“Moram biti pametan u ringu. Moram ući tamo i biti Danny Garcia. Ovdje sam jer sam pametan borac. To svi znaju. Imam moć. Pronaći ću svoje otvaranje i iskoristiti njegove pogreške.”

 

 

LAMONT PETERSON

 

“Ovo je samo još jedna borba za mene. Ne brinem se što ću biti glavni događaj. Ja samo volim da se bori. Sve dok se borim sretna sam.

 

“Mnogi nas vide kako se tučemo i vide kako udaramo, ali to je samo lakši dio. Žrtvovanje u teretani i kažnjavanje mog tijela grub je dio.

 

“Ne pokušavam dokazati da netko griješi, ali ova borba mi je važna i želim je dobiti. Želim biti najbolji čovjek, a to znači pobijediti vrhunskog.

 

“Ljudi pričaju kako je on tukao Matthyssea, a Matthysse mene, ali onaj tko zna za boks zna da to ne znači ništa. Kao što Subota navečer ću svima dokazati da sam bolji borac od Dannyja Garcije.

 

“Angel Garcia ima svoje mišljenje o ovoj borbi, i ja to poštujem. Može snimati i reći sve što poželi, ali ako kaže da je Danny Garcia jači od mene, Reći ću vam da je to laž.

 

“Ne brinemo se zbog Dannyjeve moći. Mnogi su me ljudi pitali o tome, ali nisam zabrinut. Danny Garcia imao je podijeljenu odluku s Kendallom Holtom, koga sam nokautirao. Čini se da to nitko ne spominje.

 

“Ugodno mi je kako god krenula ova borba. Gotovo garantiram pobjedu.

 

“Mislim da me ne shvaćaju olako. Na kraju dana, Garcia zna da je ovo borba i zna da se nije borio ni s kim poput mene. Očekujem veliku pobjedu Subota noć.

 

“Nikad ne znaš što ćeš vidjeti sa mnom. Što god osjećam da moram učiniti za pobjedu, to ću učiniti. Spreman sam 100 posto. U formi sam za 30 krugova i bit ću spreman na sve. ”

 

ANDY LEE

 

“U posljednjih godinu dana postigli smo nevjerojatan napredak u mojim vještinama i sve je stvarno kliknulo za mene i moj tim, a sada vidimo rezultate u ringu.

 

“Ponosan sam što sam Irac iz Limericka koji brani svoje svjetsko prvenstvo u New Yorku, ne postaje puno bolje od toga.

 

“Otkako sam osvojio svjetski naslov, dignuta mi je velika težina s ramena. To sam oduvijek želio raditi, a godinama su me slavili kao prvaka i da ga nikad nisam dobio, bio bih razočaran. Sad mi je majmun s leđa i mogu samo boksati i pokazati ljudima tko sam.

 

“Od posljednje borbe napravili smo fizička i taktička poboljšanja u teretani i nadamo se da će se oni pojaviti u ringu u subotu.

 

“Mislim da bi ovo mogla biti tehnička borba ili malo vatrogasna borba. Povremeno će biti malo oboje. Bit će trenutaka kada se gledamo, odgonetavajući jedno drugo, ali kad jednom razmijenimo, moglo bi biti eksplozivno.

 

“Quillin je siguran u sebe, ali mora biti, Ja imam isti mentalitet. Morate biti da biste se natjecali u ovom sportu.

 

“Borba kod kuće kao što je Quillin u subotu, donosi drugačiju vrstu pritiska na stol, to je pritisak očekivanja i ljudi koje poznajete dolaze na borbe. To je također pritisak i ja znam sve o tome.

 

“Nisam trebao stvoriti svoje samopouzdanje za ovu borbu. Nije vrijeme za razmišljanje. Vrijeme je da radim ono što sam radio svaki dan u teretani.”

 

PETER QUILLIN

 

“Nikad nisam zaostajao u borbi i vratio se i pobijedio kao Lee. Upravo sam cijelo vrijeme pobjeđivao odmah ispred vrata. Ti drugi dečki nisu 'Kid Chocolate’ pa mislim da je zato napravljena ova borba.

 

“To je velika borba za njega i velika borba za mene. Pametan je borac kad je u nevolji pa na to moram pripaziti. Najvažnije je da jednostavno moram biti vjeran sebi.

 

“Mnogi su ljudi imali Leea kao undersaga u njegovoj posljednjoj borbi, ali on je izašao i sjajno se snašao. To je stvar boksa; jedan udarac može promijeniti borbu.

 

“Plaćam 12 krugova pa se pripremam za 12 runde, ali ako ga uspijem rano izvući, hoću.

 

“Cijeli moj život su borbe i morao sam prevladati svaku pojedinu od tih borbi. Ovo se neće ništa razlikovati od toga.

 

“Budući da sam otac, naravno, učinilo me nadahnutijim, a promatranje strica prošao me motiviranije nego ikad da ostvarim sve što želim.

 

“Kad sam odustao od pojasa, naučio sam da mogu biti veći čovjek i cijelo vrijeme donositi teške odluke poput toga. Ljudi misle da je lako izgubiti, ali stalno je pobjeda drugačija vrsta pritiska.”

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

“Ja sam najbolji mladi potencijalni igrač. Na granici sam statusa kandidata i vjerujem da sam samo jedna borba od toga da budem kandidat.

 

“Stilski sam malo mješavina. Ja sam boksač, Mogu udarati i mogu se boriti ako moram.

 

“Borba iz koje sam najviše naučio bila je s Emanuelom Larteyem, bio je neporažen zajedno sa mnom i to mi je bila prva prava borba i prvi put da sam prešao daljinu.

 

“Vidim sebe kako se borim sa svim najboljim momcima u velter kategoriji. Vidim se s Keithom Thurmanom, Amir Khan i bilo koji vrhunski velter kategorija.

 

“Izgledat ću dobro kao i uvijek u subotu noć, Bit će fantastično i izaći ću s pobjedom.”

 

Marcus Browne

 

“Upravo sam blagoslovljen što imam priliku da se osmi put borim u Barclays Centeru pred svojim rodnim navijačima.

 

“Volim nastupati u Brooklynu. Ovdje su navijači fantastični i znaju kad uđem u ring vidjet će nešto posebno.

 

“Ispred sebe imam žilavog protivnika. On je doživio, vrlo lenjiv borac, ali jako smo trenirali i spreman sam na sve što ima.

 

“Subota bit će sjajna noć za Team Browne, Staten Island i svi moji obožavatelji. Ne trepnite jer bi vam moglo nedostajati!”

 

Luis Collazo

 

“Proveo sam neko vrijeme s obitelji, pregrupirao sam se i uvjerio se da i dalje imam istu strast prema ovom sportu. Uzbuđena sam što sam se vratila i iskoristila sam priliku da budem na ovoj kartici.

 

“Za to živim. Boks je moj život.

 

“Nakon Khan borbe uzeo sam oko mjesec dana pauze, a zatim sam otišao ravno u teretanu. Nisam mogao izaći kao protiv Khana. Nema isprike, ali bilo je vrijeme da se vratimo na ploču za crtanje i ostanemo motivirani tijekom cijele godine.

 

“Navijači mogu očekivati ​​isto uzbuđenje koje uvijek donosim. Sada sam motiviraniji i nadam se da nakon ove borbe mogu dobiti veliku borbu i pružiti navijačima ono što žele.”

 

HEATHER HARDY

 

“Imam isti način razmišljanja koji ulazi u svaku borbu. Treniram da se borim i napravim prilagodbe kad uđem tamo.

 

“Osjećam se snažno i osjećam se sposobnim za sve što treba učiniti.

 

“Boksam tek četiri godine pa još uvijek puno učim boksačku tehniku ​​u kampu plus radim tri ili četiri dana u tjednu sa svojim trenerom snage i kondicije.

 

“Navijači mogu očekivati ​​dobru predstavu i veliku pobjedu u subotu.”

DANNY GARCIA

 

“Obuka ide dobro, I’ve done everything I have to do and I’m still focused. It’s a week and a half until the fight and I’m ready to go. If the fight were sutra I’d be ready.

 

“It’s a big fight and it’s the fight that the fans wanted. We’re going to give the fans a great night of boxing on NBC and it’s time the show the world that Danny Garcia is the star of NBC.

 

“We have common opponents like Khan and Matthysse and we’ve had different results. They say styles make fights so those results don’t matter. Dobro, my style is to kick his butt.

 

“I know that this second PBC on NBC show is going to be even bigger and I just feel blessed to be a part of it and I can’t wait to go out there and showcase my skills.

 

“I’m ready for whatever Peterson brings. If he tries to box then I’m going to go with that and if he wants to fight, Ja ću biti spreman. I’m not going to go in and just try to knock his head off, I’m going to be Danny Garcia.

 

“I’d love to be fighting on the biggest stage in boxing against the Mayweather and Pacquiaos, but for now it’s just about taking it one fight at a time, this is history in the making.

 

“A lot of things have changed for me in the last few years, everybody knows me now. A lot of people look at you different now but it doesn’t make my head bigger, it just motivates me to work hard.

 

“I love Brooklyn, it’s my fourth fight at Barclays Center and I’m looking to make it 4-0 na Travanj 11.

 

“This is a blessing for the sport of boxing. Millions of fans haven’t had the opportunity to watch boxing on primetime in years and this is great for the sport.”

 

ANGEL GARCIA

 

“I’ll give Peterson credit for putting the gloves on. He thinks it’s going to be an easy night for him. He sees himself already on top of the mountain. It’s not going to happen like that, we’re going to ruin his party.

 

“I want Peterson to act confident and come forward. They’re talking like Danny isn’t special but he lost to the guys we beat.

 

“It doesn’t matter what anyone says as long as Danny is in here putting in 100 percent every day. It’s all about Travanj 11.

 

“We’re not going to train for eight weeks to go in there and worry about what Peterson is going to do, we’re going to do what we have to do. We train to go in there and win on Travanj 11.”
